Claudia Gadelha cuts ties with Nova Uniao following argument with head coach Andres Pederneiras

Things aren't always good on the home front. Just ask Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's strawweight contender Claudia Gadelha, who has officially cut ties with gym Nova Uniao following an argument with head coach Andres Pederneiras, per a report by Combate (h/t Bloody Elbow).

Gadelha, 27, just lost her rematch with current 115-pound champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk back at TUF 23 Finale this past July following a coaching stint on The Ultimate Fighter. The over-the-phone argument she had with Pederneiras apparently stemmed from Gadelha questioning her training camp leading into her title fight with Jedrzejczyk.
